From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Banua Premier Lounge, also called Banua Lounge, is operated by IAS Hospitality and listed by Plaza Premium. It is in domestic departures, landside, before security, 05:30–17:00 daily. A reseller page says floor 3 and 05:00; use the operator hours.
Entry is paid. A Plaza Premium airport listing has shown a starting price of IDR 135,000 on a dated search. That is not a fixed walk-up tariff. Confirm the price before you go.
The listing includes halal food and drink, Wi-Fi, charging, a prayer room, a playroom, and workstations. Showers are not listed as included. Priority Pass's Indonesia directory does not include Padang, so do not expect Priority Pass, LoungeKey, DragonPass, or Amex access.
A California Fried Chicken counter was photographed in the departures hall on 2 November 2024, with check-in desks behind it. Other outlet names and prices were not verified. Sealed bottled drinks are sold in the terminal; no bottle price or refill station was confirmed.
The ministry domestic table, which is a route register and not a live timetable, shows the busiest link as Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta: Garuda 737s, Super Air Jet, Pelita, and Citilink. It also lists Batam, Kualanamu (Medan), Yogyakarta International, Semarang, Pekanbaru, Jambi, Bengkulu, Mentawai, Lasondre, and Mukomuko. Frequencies on that table should not be added together when the same airline appears on duplicate rows.
International rows on the same table name AirAsia, Super Air Jet, and Batik Air Malaysia to Kuala Lumpur, again with duplicate frequency rows. Third-party schedules also list Lion Air on Kuala Lumpur–Padang; the ministry table does not. Do not treat a Medina hajj charter as a scheduled Saudia route.
